Grayton Beach State Park

Since Grayton is not a long drive from our present location we decided to get a later start. We've done it a few times before so basically  we know where we're going. The day is sunny but cool. Driving there was pretty much unremarkable, it's approximately 150 miles. We arrived only to find our campsite still occupied. That's okay they were just about ready to pull out.

After setting up we decided to go for a walk to the beach. It's one of my favorite places because of the beach. The sand is so white and the blue-green water is crystal clear.

Grayton consists of 2,200 acres of white sand dunes and salt marches. The lake within the park is known as Western Lake and it's the second largest coastal dune lake in the Florida Panhandle. Canoeing and kayaking are popular activities on this lake.

The campground has a new area and an older area. We camped in the new area which has full hook-ups including 50 amp service and sewers. Even though there's no shade trees in this area it's nice this time of year to get some sun on the rig. All sites are back-in. We however got one of two pull-thrus. The older area has lots of shade trees, sites are smaller, and no sewer connections. The washroom was being renovated when we were there. I didn't see alot of shorebirds as we walked along the beach however did see a few Great Blue Herons in the lake.
